Ever New at Bonifacio High Street

Jillsabs — Sat, 26 May 2012 15:10:17 +0000

It was another humid day so the hubby and I hied off to Bonifacio High Street to escape the heat and have some cake. I noticed a new store near Promod and was attracted to the bright colors and cute window display. The store was Ever New from Melbourne, Australia, and I died a little inside when I stepped in and browsed through the clothes.

Interestingly enough, Ever New is called Forever New in Australia, but here in the Philippines, they decided to call it Ever New. I have a strong feeling that this is because of the Forever21 name recall.

This dress is too Rachel Berry but I just love it!

This floral one shouldered dress is wedding-guest ready.

These little black dresses are also something that would make my wardrobe very, very happy.

Price points are similar to highstreet regulars Zara, Mango and Promod, meaning competitively priced in Europe but wallet busting for the average Pinay. But rejoice! because mid-year sale season is coming up and that means that there are lots of fantastic bargains to be scored very soon. I'm crossing my fingers that even if Ever New just opened here, it will also join the whole mid-year sale bandwagon.

Spiffy Brows with Browhaus

Jillsabs — Wed, 23 May 2012 11:37:04 +0000

I'm fairly lucky when it comes to my eyebrows because they've always been naturally well-defined. They're a little too lush though, but I'll take that over having to paint on my eyebrows everyday, besides it's nothing that a little strategic tweezing can't solve.

But what happens if you're on the opposite side of the eyebrow scale? If you have too little eyebrows? Is there hope for you? Why yes there is! Say hello to perfect eyebrows with Brow Resurrection from Browhaus.

This video gives the lowdown on what you should expect with Brow Resurrection:

Aren't those before and after photos amazing? Eyebrows really do make or break your look.

This is totally off-topic but I want this girl's hair.

I think I'll grow my hair for 2-3 more months and then I'll spring for a digiperm :)

Anyhoo, for all your eyebrow concerns, be sure to check out Browhaus Manila at Serendra, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig and Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center, Makati.

Reunited with Step-Rite Shoes

Jillsabs — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:42:44 +0000

When it comes to shoes, my first love will always be that Dirty South favorite, Step-Rite Shoes.

I just recently cleared out my shoe closet, removing pairs that pinch my toes, hurt my soles or look as if they're about to fall apart. I successfully weeded out about 5 pairs of shoes, which means that I now have room again for new shoes,* thus, the recent trip to Step-Rite where I came out with two new pairs of wedges.

For the long-time readers of this blog, the white abaca wedges (Php680) might look familiar, and you're right, I bought the same pair from Step-Rite about 6 years ago (read about it here).

I loved it so much that when I saw it was back in circulation, I snapped up a pair ASAP. It's a very versatile wedge that goes well with shorts, dresses, skirts, ballgowns... etc. etc.

The only thing I don't like about these wedges is that I can't walk around too long in them, the thong design means that I'm prone to arch and heel pain if I wear them for long periods of time. So no marathon malling sessions for my white wedges.

My second pair from Step-Rite are black ankle strap wedges (Php680), with purty, purty black bows. I love how this pair is so light, yet so stable. I'm prone to tripping, but I haven't had an accident in this pair yet (crossing fingers).

Again, this pair goes with most of my outfits.

And unlike the white thong wedges, I can, and have, walked hours in this pair.

So there you have it, it's no wonder that first love never dies :)

*Space is very limited in our little house and I have designed my shoe rack in such a way that I can only buy a new pair if I get rid of an old pair, because really, we have no room.

For the Bride-to-Be on a Budget

Jillsabs — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:28:09 +0000

It's amazing just what sort of deals are being offered in groupon sites these days. From the ubiquitous kili-kili whitening treatments, to the all-out 3D/2N Rome getaway, groupons seem to carry everything! And if you're a bride-to-be, you might find these Deal Dozen coupons from Kaizer Photography very, very interesting.

First up is a pre-nup photoshoot package (w/ AVP) for Php10,500 from the original Php35,000.

We never had a pre-nup photoshoot because I was too shy to go posing-posing:p But looking at these pre-nup photos, I'm thinking I should have just shoved all of my self-consciousness aside.

Maybe for our tenth wedding anniversary :)

Deal Dozen is also offering a wedding photography package (w/ on-site AVP and album) for a mere Php36,000!!

Seriously people, that is such a steal! We paid Php25,000 for our wedding photos and take note that that was only for the raw photos with no AVP and no album.

The deal is on until May 30, 2012 and there are only 20 coupons available per deal. In short, do it. Now.

And that's another public service announcement brought to you by your friendly friends over at Kikay Exchange.

Shiseido Shopping at the Duty Free Shop

Jillsabs — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:42:24 +0000

My dad came back from Japan yesterday, and we stopped by the Duty Free Shop this afternoon so that he could buy some Shiseido products for my mom as pasalubong. He specifically wanted to buy Shiseido because his officemates went nuts in Japan over it and he wanted to see what the fuss was about.

He ended up buying her The Skincare 123 Travel Kit because she suffers from psoriasis and The Skincare is supposed to be Shiseido's line for sensitive skin.

Although I have to say that I'm disappointed that we paid $50 (Php2,135) for The Skincare travel kit, because it retails for only $39.50 (Php1,687) in the Shiseido site.

I picked up the Pureness Oil Control 123 Kit for $36.00 (Php1,538) for myself and I'm happy to report that it's only slightly cheaper in the website by $2.50 (Php107), or $33.50 (Php1,431) for the entire kit. Yay!

Will start using my Pureness products tonight and will make my review in a few weeks time :)

Post-Digital Perm Hair Care Guide

Jillsabs — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:12:39 +0000

*Cross-posted from Sunset Goddess Manila

THINKING OF HAVING YOUR STRAIGHT HAIR PERMED? READ THIS FIRST BEFORE GETTING A DIGI PERM!!

A few weeks ago, I got my hair permed for the very first time at Bang's Tony and Jackey and told you all about my (virgin) digital perm experience in this post.

As I mentioned there, the main thing that I felt after leaving the salon and a few days after was disoriented. After living with straight hair for all my life up until that point, I felt confused and a bit lost on what to do with my hair. And while still in that disoriented state, I sort of panicked, which led me to buy products that I realized only later on were not really what I needed. I did ask a lot of questions from my Korean stylist, Anna, but I felt like it's a hit or miss---as in, you have to ask the right questions or else you won't get the proper information. So the thing is, what questions are you supposed to ask?

And I noticed that while there are so many articles and blog posts on other girls' experiences on their digi perms, there aren't that many that tell us formerly straight-haired girls about what to expect and what to do with our newly permed hair AFTER we leave the salon and deal with it in our daily lives. After all, we already paid so much for the perm itself and risked taking this step to the world of waves and curls. So we might as well enjoy this new hair and be sure to maintain it properly.

So I came up with this guide, which is a compilation of my own experience and tips from other real women who've had their hair digi permed. You will also find my essential shopping list for digi permed hair (because I don't want you to go through what I did---panicking and overbuying!).

Before & after leaving the salon

Each perm is different, depending on the treatment that was used, and could differ from salon to salon. Your stylist may also be so busy and/or take for granted that it's your first time and don't know anything about dealing with permed hair. So before you leave your chair with your newly permed hair, be sure to ask your hair stylist the following questions because this can differ from each salon, stylist, and type of perm:

How long can you expect the perm to last?
When is the earliest you can wash your hair?
When can you tie up your hair again?
Can you style your hair using curling iron?
When can you have your hair colored/ retouched?
When can you have your hair permed again?

Right after leaving the salon, take note that you SHOULD NOT WASH YOUR HAIR until after 24 to 48 hours have passed since your perm. I got my perm Saturday afternoon and I was told that I'm supposed to wash my hair Monday at the earliest. Take note of this instruction because it's supposedly during this time that the treatment that makes your hair perm "sets" and settles in your hair and it's imperative that this process is not literally "watered down" by you wetting your hair. Or else, the waves/curls may lose effectiveness and will fail. Take a bath using a shower cap to prevent any water from damaging your perm.

Knowing this, do make sure that you take a bath and wash your hair before going to the salon and if you're iffy about leaving the house without washing your hair (like me!), make sure you don't have anywhere special to go to the day after your perm that will necessitate you washing your hair.

I also asked whether I can tie up my hair in a ponytail, which was a concern since I got a perm in the middle of a very hot summer. Good thing I asked because I was told that I can only tie up my hair 1 month after my perm.

I should mention that your permed hair upon leaving the salon will be quite different from how it will look like after you wash it. And in fact, it's only days after that the "real look" of your digi perm will come out. I loved how my hair looked when I left the salon but I think I really got to appreciate what I did to my hair only after a few days into the perm. That said, if you're not too happy about how your hair looks right after your perm, don't panic! Give it a few days before judging for yourself whether you love it or hate it.

Washing

Permed hair may be shampooed frequently and for best effect, it's important that it's conditioned regularly. Some women with permed hair say that it's best not to shampoo hair daily. On the other hand, daily conditioning is a must for permed hair (as opposed to when I had straight hair, where daily conditioning had the effect of weighing down my hair). Excessive shampooing might affect how long the perm will last, and daily conditioning is important to prevent frizzy curls.

As for me, I alternate between daily shampoo + conditioner and using just conditioner. I use Clairol Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curls and Waves shampoo and conditioner. I tried using "ordinary" shampoo and conditioner on my permed hair and I noticed that my hair became dry. But the effect of Herbal Essences is really different. Permed hair needs more moisture than non-treated hair and I could really feel how Herbal Essences makes my hair softer and more moisturized. This is an imported shampoo but is available at SM Supermarkets and Watson's but I got mine at Unimart Supermarket (and good thing too because it's priced at P215 each, which is about P50 cheaper than in SM). Plus, this smells super great too. I highly recommend this product, as this is one of my best "curly hair girl" finds :) I also still use my Pureology shampoo (seen here), to care for my colored hair but at the same time, it still gives enough moisture for my permed hair.

Others recommend using dry shampoo to add volume without actually washing your hair, but I haven't tried this yet.

As an alternative, I also use Human Nature's shampoo and conditioner (make sure it's the moisturizing variant) for days when I feel like detoxifying.

It's also good to have a weekly intensive conditioning treatment regimen. This is supposedly a must even with straight hair and now with permed hair, this is all the more imperative. I just use whatever I already have in my house (like Sunsilk and Pantene).

Since you will no longer be combing and brushing your permed hair, special attention must also be given to your scalp to prevent dandruff and product build-up. I recommend clarifying or anti-dandruff shampoos every once in a while. Good thing I also already have Giga's Scalp Treatment, which is a specific treatment for the scalp.

Styling

I think it was only after I first washed my hair and had to deal with the new texture and styled it myself that I realized that having digi permed hair is really different from having straight hair. So many girls with digi permed hair have told me that they love it because it's low maintenance (like they don't need to comb it anymore). Yes, on one hand, that is true. However, having digi permed hair takes a different kind of maintenance altogether. I found my straight hair quite low maintenance in the sense that I can just sit in front of the electric fan to dry my hair and that's it. I rarely used any product and had no need to blow dry my hair. But now, I find that the products and the different steps that I have to undergo to care for my permed hair took some getting used to. So because of that, having permed hair needs more "maintenance" for me, but I think it's only because I've had straight hair all my life.

1. Drying.

Never ever rub your towel on your hair as this will only create frizz. For straight hair, I used to rub the towel on my scalp and hair. But this is a no-no for permed hair. It's enough that you squeeze excess water out and then wrap your hair in a towel and give it time to absorb the hair's moisture.

My stylist told me that if I'm going to use blowdryer, it has to be on the cool setting. I got the impression that she disapproves using a blowdryer altogether as this will just cause more damage to my hair. However some girls say it's good to use blow-dryer to dry permed hair. This is good to prevent frizz but make sure you put the correct styling products first (see #3 below) and do not do this often to prevent heat damage

What I've found ideal for drying my hair is to leave the aircon open while I'm getting ready in the morning since there is enough air in the room to dry my hair but without any direct wind that will give me frizz. I've also tried drying my hair through an electric fan, but I make sure that it's not pointed directly at my head to prevent frizz.

2. NEVER EVER COMB YOUR PERMED HAIR

This is the most important rule in caring and maintaining your permed hair. While straight hair needs to be combed when wet to prevent frizz, the effect is exactly the opposite for your curls. Combing them will just loosen the curls and make them frizzy. Except for combing the top part of my hair which has not been permed, I never comb my permed hair. While your hair is permed, say goodbye for now to your combs and brushes.

To deal with tangles and knots, comb through your curls using your fingers while in the shower or afterwards, while they're still damp. Another trick is to finger comb your hair BEFORE you shampoo to prevent tangles.

3. Sectioning
One thing that I've learned is an absolute must to properly style my digi permed hair is dividing my hair into sections while still damp. What I like most about having digi permed hair is how I can manipulate it to look different everyday, and I do this by changing how I section my hair.

If I like to maintain the smaller tighter curls, I section my hair into four. Then I wind each partition around my finger then apply product. If I want looser but still defined waves, I part my hair into two and twist them around then apply product. If I want a messier look, I don't section at all and just allow the curls to dry naturally.

4. Styling Products

After I got my perm at Tony and Jackey, I asked the stylist what products I need to use for my new hair. They hoisted two products at me, the Natubea Cortex Essence hair serum (P1300) and the Teracota Hair Silky Essence (P1800). Both are Korean products and are supposedly only available at Tony and Jackey. I asked if I can just get one and the stylist told me that my hair is dry, I have to get not only the Natubea hair serum (which is the product to style & define the curls) but also the Teracota product to lessen the dry and damaged appearance of my permed hair.

After my perm, I learned from the Boyfriend's sister (who previously had a perm at Azta Urban salon) that her go-to product when she still had her perm was the Kerastase Nutritive Oleo-Curl curl definition creme (I got mine at the Basement Salon in Shangri-La at about P1652). And I must say that I love, love this product. And if there's just one product that you must use for your permed hair, this is it.

As I said above, I didn't do my post-perm hair care research on time and I panicked and bought too many products (the Korean styling products, the Kerastase, a mousse, other shampoo and conditioners, and even rollers!). But now knowing what I know, I would just recommend the Kerastase curl definition cream and perhaps also the Teracota hair silky essence (which I apply not just to my curls but also to the remaining straight hair on top of my head. The good thing also is that I can still use this when I go back to my straight hair).

I apply the Kerastase oleo-curl cream (just a small amount will do) to my sectioned and twisted hair while still damp, applying it from the ends upward, crimping as I go. Unlike mousse or gel which leaves hair dry, sticky, or hard, the Kerastase cream leaves hair still very soft---literally, as if I didn't apply any product at all when my hair is dry! And yet, it still gives my curls definition and style. And I don't need to reapply throughout the day. I don't need the hold of a mousse since I want my curls to look loose and wavy anyway so this is simply perfect. I've read about some remarking on the product's scent but I like the citrusy strawberry fragrance and do not have any problem with it. If I want to reapply the product in the afternoon or if I have to go somewhere after work, I find that it gives a great "retouch" but does not weigh my curls down.

I did my research online and learned girls who got their hair digi permed are indeed raving about this product. And now, I am too. It's really the best product that anyone with digi permed hair can and SHOULD use. At P1,652, it is very pricey but this product can last for months and for the great reviews and quality, I'd still say this is a good deal. I figured, I've already spent so much on having my hair permed and if it takes an expensive product to maintain it and for me to be happy with it, then panindigan na!

On the other side of the price spectrum, I've read about Monea curl defining milk lotion which is priced only at P99. However, I've noticed that the reviews are mixed (downside is the thick consistency). Anyway, when I no longer have any money since I already spent so much for my perm and its maintenance, I would definitely look for this milk lotion! Others also swear by styling products from Gatsby and Bench Fix.

5.Crimping

Throughout the day, crimp and twist your permed hair frequently to further define the curls/waves and to put some order into them when they get too messy for your taste. This will also make the curls retain their shape. Since you can no longer brush or comb your hair, do this instead.

6. Hair Accessories

As I said before, I love my digi permed hair for the volume and because to me it looks sexy and has a just-out-of-bed feel ;-). But for the days when you don't want to look too wild or unkempt, you can use headbands or small clips to get your hair out of your face and to look neater.

It seems that there are differing opinions on whether digi permed hair can be ponytailed. My stylist warned me not to do it until after one month from my perm. And even then, my stylist told me not to use elastic bands because they can cause more hair damage. Instead, I should tie my hair up using large clamps. Frankly, I've actually violated the no-ponytail rule once or twice already when I just had to get a half-bath in the evenings because of the summer heat (but I didn't want to get my hair wet so I just clamped it up). Thankfully, I don't think it damaged my perm in any way. But still, I would keep such violations to a minimum to retain the shape and quality of the curls. Since each perm is different, be sure to ask your stylist about this rule.

Coloring & Salon Treatments

While it is safe to color your hair after you have it digi permed, I'd suggest waiting about a month or more just to give your hair some time to rest in between treatments.

They say that digi permed hair should also receive extra care with monthly salon treatments, especially those formulated to give more moisture and damage repair. I balk at the "monthly" frequency of having hair treatments so I'd rather stick to my weekly intensive/deep conditioning regimen at home. One good alternative I've been hearing right from the salon stylists themselves is to buy intensive conditioning treatments (like Kerastase) being sold in the salons (which are exactly what they use in their salon services anyway) and apply the treatment DIY. A jar of a Kerastase treatment may cost you upward of P2,000 but that can last you for months, while that's just the price of one salon treatment.

The Digi Perm Essential Shopping List

Before you take the plunge towards making your curls permanent and finally getting that digi perm, be sure that you check out this list, which rounds out the essential items for any straight-haired girl making the switch to the world of curls and waves. Really, these are the only items you need:

1. Shower cap
2. Moisturizing shampoo & conditioner
Splurge: Clairol Herbal Essences Totally Twisted shampoo & conditioner (P215 for 355 ml, available in Unimart, SM supermarket, Watson's), Kerastase Bain Oleo Curl shampoo (available in leading salons)
Save: Human Nature Moisturizing shampoo & conditioner (from P44.75 for 50 ml, available online and in Rustan's supermarkets)
3. Styling Products
Splurge: Kerastase Nutritive Oleo-Curl curl definition creme (P1652, available in leading salons) for definition and Teracota Hair Silky Essence used as hair serum (P1800, available at Bang's Tony and Jackey branches)
Save: Monea curl defining milk lotion (P99, available in The Landmark & in select Watson's outlets), Gatsby styling wax or Bench Fix Rock & Rule wax (comes in pocket sized containers that are perfect to carry around)
4. Intensive treatments
Splurge: specialized hair treatments from leading salons, Kerastase Masquintese, or Kerastase Oleo-Curl Masque Intense
Save: any intensive/weekly treatment specifically for damage repair/ dry hair available in supermarkets and drugstores, scalp treatment from Giga (about P250, available in Megamall or Sesou Nature Source)
5. Big hair clamps

------o-------

After the disorientation with my new hair which lasted for a few days after I had my digi perm, I'm now at the stage where I've really come to appreciate and love it. I think the disorientation was really because I've had straight hair all my life and that most of the things I have to do with my permed hair are "new" to me and are in fact, "counter-intuitive" to how I've dealt with straight hair (like daily conditioning, not combing, not drying hair in front of the electric fan, etc.). Permed hair just takes some time getting used to. But once you get the hang of properly washing, styling and caring for your hair, you will get to enjoy the "low maintenance" side to having digi permed hair---like not worrying if every strand is in place, and getting volume and definition without the use of hair dryers or curling irons. And of course, you can now enjoy the advantage of having beautiful curls and waves---a totally sexy, different look from your sleek, straight hair.

For girls with newly digi permed hair, I hope this guide helps lessen your disorientation and make you enjoy your hair more :) And for those girls out there who's thinking of getting a digi perm, I hope this guide helps you in making your decision too.

PRP3- The Sweet Episode

Jillsabs — Mon, 14 May 2012 14:22:58 +0000

Last Sunday's challenge was to interpret a dessert from Diamond Hotel. The contestants had to take the taste, texture, feel etc. of their chosen dessert and create a garment from this. I have to admit that I got really nervous for my girl Milka because two Sundays ago, Apples "Ice Queen" Aberin told Milka "Impress us, or die." Or something along those lines.

When I saw Milka's consultation with Jojie, I wailed because I thought she was going to come out with another corset, and lest we all forget, it was the corset as outerwear that almost got her kicked out two Sundays ago.

But she did not come out with a corset (whew!), instead, she put together a scrumptious mini-dress that got the judges' unanimous nod. From bottom two to this week's challenge winner, how's that for a comeback?

Ionica was given the boot last Sunday with this creation.

I thought she scored a bulls-eye with the fabric for her skirt, but I agreed with the judges that the silhouette was too ordinary. Maybe if the model had her hair up instead of down, the back detail would have made more of an impact.

At this stage in the competition it's apparent that all the designers have their technique down pat, thus, what matters most now is their taste level (as Rajo always says, "It must look expensive!").

And we're down to our final 7! My fearless forecast for the final three are: Amor, Cheetah and Milka (but of course!).

P.S.

I know that the screencap is not from the desserts episode, but Etc. hasn't uploaded the video teaser for that episode yet, so the one from the Ruffa episode will have to do.

P.P.S.

Lava Buys

Jillsabs — Sat, 12 May 2012 14:16:24 +0000

In the future when my monthly fun money has multiplied a hundredfold, I may indulge in bespoke jewelry (or jewelry for that matter), but in the meantime, these handcrafted and very affordable pieces from Lava Buys will have to do.

Lava Buys is Lala Legaspi-Garcia's brainchild, and Lala is my sister-in-law's bestfriend. I don't know when I first saw Lava Buys in my SIL's Facebook timeline, but I do remember being astounded with how gorgeous each piece was.

There's just something about cut stones that never fail to mesmerize me. Mother Nature sure knew what she was doing when she created these unlikely pieces of art.

Imagine wearing a soft, flowy dress with only a cuff, bangle or a cocktail ring as your accessory. Pwede!

These connector rings are also all sorts of cool.

Price-wise, I think it's easy to go nuts over Lava Buys because the price range is very hoarding-friendly at Php200-Php695 per piece.

So Ladies, you're welcome.

*For orders or inquiries, leave Lala a comment or PM at the Lava Buys Facebook page, or text her at +639228312328. Lava Buys can also be found at CHICTEES Bags and Clothing Shop, 2/F Alabang Town Center, inside POP CULTURE near Food Choices
